SSD recovery of deleted data

SSD (Solid State Drive) is a type of data storage that uses flash memory to store information. Restoring deleted data from an SSD can be a difficult task because of the features of this device.

When data is deleted from the SSD, it is not marked as "deleted" and is not marked for overwriting on the next use. Instead, the controllers inside the SSD simply mark memory blocks as free for recording new data when such a need arises.

This means that if you accidentally delete a file or even format your system with all its contents on an SSD, there is a chance to recover partial or complete information. However, the recovery process will depend on various factors:

1. Recovery program: There are specialized programs for data recovery from hard drives and other storage devices, which also work with standard SATA/PCIe interfaces.
2. Physical state of NAND cells: If a large volume of read/write operations were performed that caused an error, the probability of successful recovery decreases.
3. Time: The sooner you start the recovery process, the greater the chances of its successful completion.

It is important to note that there is a risk of further data damage or permanent data loss when attempting to recover data from an SSD. Therefore, I always recommend contacting specialists on this issue for maximum guarantees and effective work.

If you need to perform such a recovery of deleted data from your SSD device, it is best to seek help from a company or service center that has experience with similar cases and uses specialized software tools for this task.
